“The proponents of privatisation tell us that privatisation makes services better, cheaper, and that private ownership is accountable and efficient. Educor has proven that all these are myths,” he added. Additionally, he said the chronic understaffing at Damelin and its sister colleges, the incompetence and poor management that resulted in unfair labour practice, late payment of employees and the eventual bankruptcy demonstrate that the private sector does not always deliver on these promises.

Laurie said the IIE has established a centralised process to address student queries, provide guidance on transferring to The IIE, and review each student’s financial circumstances and academic transcript.“Affected students who would like to enquire about their options of transferring to The IIE can e-mail registrar@iie.ac.za. The office will assist students with queries regarding similar qualifications, the nearest campus to consider, and the process for applying for academic credits.

Conducting an academic credit mapping exercise will assess the overlap between modules completed by students and those on the transfer qualification.
